Spotted at this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show, Whirly Pop Sweet Strawberry Soda is a sugary, fizzy delight that takes the iconic rainbow swirl lollipop brand and transforms it into a drinkable treat.

Sweet, silly, and unapologetically pink — this one’s a sugar rush in liquid form. My teeth hurt just looking at the bottle.

Now you can recreate the joyous taste of Bacon Brittle from fine San Francisco restaurants without ever having to leave your home, in the form of Baconpops, which I discovered on the Internet just this morning!
